Rearranging badly styled C code

I've got around 12,000 lines of badly styled C code, e.g.

initholeend=(mm_footer *) (end-sizeof(mm_footer));
initholeend->magic=MM_MAGIC;
initholestart->used+=amount;

What I'd like to do is automatically adding spaces around all binary operands and assigments:

initholeend = (mm_footer *) (end - sizeof(mm_footer));
initholeend->magic = MM_MAGIC;
initholestart->used += amount;

Is there any recommended tool to do so?

Thanks in advance.

If using unix, just open it up in vi with the autoformat feature turned on. If you're on Windows or Mac, use Codeblocks --or Notepad++ if you don't like IDEs -- where indentation and color coding for paren balancing is the default.

The classic answer is indent(1).

It has about a billion options, which should handle your requirements

I would like to recommend you uncrustify. I am quite satisfied with that code beautifier and provides good results for even more programming languages.

Most IDEs (and several command-line options) have an option to "auto-format" code according to a coding style of your choice. Eclipse is one such IDE.
